About this trip
Dalhousie is quieter than Shimla and greener than Manali, built across five hills with pine and deodar most of the way. Khajjiar, an hour away, is the wide grassy saucer ringed by forest that gets the mini Switzerland label.
This is the Himachal trip for a group that wants hills without the crowds, and it pairs naturally with Chamba for a bit of history.
How to reach: Overnight train or bus to Pathankot, then about three hours by road. Nearest airport is also Pathankot. We arrange the road leg.
When not to go: July and August, when rain limits the walks
Trip highlights
- Khajjiar meadow and its lake, ringed by deodar forest
